Chop purple onion in the Food Chopper and put into vinegar to marinate while preparing the remainder of the salad. Slice and quarter tomatoes using the Self-Sharpening Knife. Add to salad. Snip some green onions into salad using the Kitchen Shears. Add some lemon zest using the Lemon Zester. Add salt and ground pepper with the Pepper Mill.
Add Feta cheese, crumbled. Prepare apple with the Apple-Peeler-Corer-Slicer. Cut into pieces and add to salad. Slice black olives using the Egg Slicer Plus and add. Add carmelized pecans.
